Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

I considered just placing all the remaining TFU figures on pre-order with BBTS, but I noticed the only way to pre-order Ironhide is with an assortment of which I already own two of the figures, Galvatron and Acid Storm. Wonder why we can't pre-order him by himself like Sideswipe and Silverstreak? No point in pre-ordering any of that wave, because I would end up hunting for Ironhide anyway. Might as well save on the mark-up and shipping and just buy them all at retail since I will be there anyway looking for Ironhide.

A December release in the US for all of this cool stuff couldn't suit me more. I work seasonally and I'll be finishing up for three months this week. When I start back in January most of what I'm after should still be fairly easy to grab online, some of it may well be filtering through to UK retail and there's always a chance of grabbing some bargains with post Christmas reductions.

While the next few months aren't going to see me grabbing a whole lot of figures January should be epic.

That's cool . Though I won't be buying any figure from the Universe line... no money and space for everything and I already have 2 Classics.

The ones I really collect are G1s, Masterpieces and Movie Trans Scanning (thank God they're only 2... but they could do Starscream as well), and Mashin Eiyuden Wataru figures. There's so many awesome figures and lines that if I bought everything I couldn't enter my room and couldn't eat .

Optimus Prime: Great... but how are we gonna explain to capellamusic the hole on his wall?Megatron: Hmm... a free natural air conditioning system?

I really don't like how many of the Henkei releases have randomly placed chrome, a lot of them look as though it was an afterthought, incl. 'screamer. For just $13 I think I may pick this one up.

It could be a reference to the episode of the cartoon where they capture Ravage, then feed him false information to trick the Decepticons. More Than Meets The Eye Part 2, I think.

Is Inferno a repaint? I swear he looks like an Energon figure my brother had. His fire engine graphics look really sharp, something about him looks MUCH better than any other fire engine toy I've ever seen, attention to detail maybe?

Because not everyone has him already. Why don't people ask this when another G1 Prime reissue gets thrown out? It's the same thing: it gives people who don't already have the figure another chance to buy it.

Animated Swindle and Blurr are also listed, but they both seem to have somehow sold out already. I got my Swindle preorder in just in time, glad I didn't want Blurr cause I didn't notice he was listed until after he sold out.

Cheetor still looks awful, that didn't change from BotCon. I like the rest. Predacon Bruticus looks like a barely repainted C-Scourge.

Thanks for the come response to that. I was going to rip him apart... but yeah, I guess not.

I just can't stand the whole "why is he in there" whole deal. Starscream was limited as hell, I never even saw it on the shelf with it's release, and it's freaking expensive as hell on Ebay now.
